Nathan's Second Chance

Nathan’s Second Chance is an excellent freeware adventure game made by Tim Knauf (no relation). As the title subtly suggests, your character has a sudden heart attack and finds himself on a trip to heaven.

Only this time, the journey involves a bus ride to meet a Brit residing in a space station. The eccentric man offers Nathan another opportunity to return to the land of the living, but under one condition. He must reconcile his differences with his daughter, who no longer stays together with the family.

And so the grand adventure begins. The interface is fairly simple to understand, thanks to an extensive tutorial. All the puzzles are relatively easy to solve as well, contributing to the gameplay because the story continues to move along without long pauses or unnecessary side quests.

Easily the one of the best freeware adventure game ever released, and it’s not even coded using AGS. I mean, how many games actually allows the player to assume the role of a balding middle-aged man?

Tim, please make more!

Thank you ever so much for a wonderful, humorous game. The graphics are a riot, I like the look of the people, especially Nathan, especially when he’s doing something really dumb.

Your tip helped me finish the game, great ending, and a great feeling of oh well, accomplishment! When ya get old little stuff makes ya smile..if or when you make another game, hey I’ll be the first to play, I’m poor, but loyal, lol..Lee Kinard
